Matrix‐producing cells formed ‘Van Gogh bundles’ facilitate Bacillus subtilis biofilm self‐healing

Abstract: Biofilms grow and expand through cell differentiation into various phenotypes, which have different functions and cooperate with each other. In our experiments, we find that biofilms can heal after damaged, and we also find there is a special structure near the cut, which is called the 'Van Gogh bundles' by Jordi et al. because of its resemblance to Van Gogh's famous painting 'The Starry Night'. Here, we study the 'Van Gogh bundles' structure evolution near the cut area, and how 'Van Gogh bundles' structure fa… Show more

“…48 While everyday laboratory practice suggests that biofilms are capable of regeneration after a mechanical damage, systematic studies of this process are very limited. 49–51 Considering that biofilm-forming B. subtilis bacterial colonies growing on agar substrates, it has been studied how the colonies recover after cuts of different geometries, different ages of a wild type biofilm and several matrix mutants. 49–51…”
